About this ebook

Dive into this fun series following a gang of quirky misfits in a world that’s like a mix of Victorian London and the tropics.

The gang’s made up of:

- A skinny pickpocket with dreadlocks, a cheeky grin, and a smart mouth

- A foppish assassin with a fear of blood

- A handsome, elite fighter, master of the sardonic raised eyebrow

- A smuggler with a drinking problem and a propensity for brawling

- And a no-nonsense, heavily tattooed female machinist, trying to keep them all in line

Can they complete their missions without getting caught, killed, and without arguing?

The latter is by far the most problematic….

Join the gang with this boxset from The Viper and the Urchin series which includes 3 steampunk capers. Over 900 pages full of quirky characters, humour, and adventure.

>> Book 1 – The Bloodless Assassin:

Ride on a mechanical, steam-powered spider along the rooftops, prowl through cutthroat infested, crookback lanes, and enjoy the decadence of Damsport’s steam baths…until a dead alchemist appears in the baths.

>> Book 2 – The Black Orchid:

Discover the luxurious debauchery of a mysterious black and gold brothel where wine and silk flow like water… and where the clientele has a tendency to disappear.

>>Book 3 – The Slave City:

Arabian nights with mechanized elephants. In the centre of the city of Azyr is an arena with bloodstained sand, and over it all looms a gleaming white marble palace housing a mad tyrant…

Ratings and reviews

This series of three books was exciting and full of drama and action. I have never read anything by this author before but I must say that this set of three books, the first part of the series, was quite something. The stories themselves flowed seamlessly, one to another, and the quality of the writing was wonderful. There was action, tension, and comedy all rolled into one that made a very cohesive whole. I loved the main characters, they were all brilliant for quite different reasons. When you mix together a street urchin/pickpocket, an assassin with an obsession about elegant clothes, a trained fighter, a mechanical expert, and a burly lady sea captain, you've got a really broad spectrum of people, and untold directions you can take them in. This story took them in some great directions, making use of every one of them in some brilliant ways. This is a book that is definitely worth a read!

I've read the first one awhile back and was really impressed with a assassin who is afraid of blood, these books are well written, the second book however, was drawn way out, I couldn't get into it it was boring , too much boring chatter to lead up to the point

Really enjoyed reading these first three books. So much adventure and brilliant characters that evolve throughout the stories. I can't wait to read the next three 😊

About the author

Celine is a nomadic writer who roams the world laptop in hand, having adventures and then telling stories inspired by those adventures. Kind of like a digital storytelling wanderer.

Her stories feature complex but flawed characters, lots of quirkiness, snappy banter, and richly imagined worlds.
